Oak Heights School and exam centre - Summer term

Arguably one of Hounslow’s best schools, Oak Heights school provides students from the age of 11-16 to experience the Oak Heights innovative teaching approaches in order to instil inspiration in the aspiring minds of students. The teachers employ a passionate, enthusiastic and encouraging attitude, which is demonstrated through excellent exam results. We at Oak Heights like to motivate our students to realize their own potential, so the students can believe in their own capabilities and build on their confidence, which will help them overcome any future challenges they come across.
The Exam Centre in Hounslow provides private study students or students who are retaking a chance to do their exams at our centre. We offer practical exam sessions in GCSE and A levels also called EMPA's at our London based centre for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This gives the students a chance to familiarize themselves with the laboratory and equipment. The next practical sessions will be available in September 2014, dates are yet to be confirmed. Entries for the June/July GCSE’s and GCE examinations will commence in September 2014, we cover AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR and WJEC Welsh examining boards. For application form please log on to the Oak Heights Exam Centre website www.oakheights.co.uk/exam-centre or call on 0208 577 1827 to request an application form. We are now qualified as a BMAT exam centre. Students who wish to apply to OXBRIDGE can take the BMAT Test at our centre.
Science week was a hit with the students last week. They covered a vast range of topics, including Photosynthesis, Energy from Fuels, Pendulums, Stretching, Resistance and Titration. The year 8’s did a flame test and the year 7’s did a presentation on their Volcano Projects, where they had to make a volcano and show how chemical reactions work.
As part of the controlled assessments and examinations for the Year 11 History GCSE, we arranged a compulsory trip for the Year 10 students to visit the Imperial War Museum to view the Holocaust Exhibition next term. This term we took the year 10 students to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. The students gained a lot of knowledge whilst absorbing in the culture of the museum in future preparation for their history-controlled assessments.
Work experience for the year 11 students will be taking place on 22nd September – 26th September 2014. After discussing the types of placements they would like to do with Patricia King, our Work Experience Officer is working on getting the required placements for the students. This is a great opportunity for the students who are looking forward to doing their work placements and to get a feel of what the working life is all about.
